According to some of the fans on X (Twitter), RCB’s website crashed owing to a massive demand for IPL 2024 tickets.
On Friday (March 15) morning, the wait time to enter the RCB website was more than one hour. At 9:17 AM on Friday, there were more than 18,000 people in the ticket-buying queue.
The IPL 2024 schedule has been released for only the first 17 days with the tournament beginning on March 22 in Chennai. RCB’s opening three home matches are on March 25 (Vs Punjab Kings), March 29 (Vs Kolkata Knight Riders), and April 2 (Vs Lucknow Super Giants).
RCB open their IPL 2024 campaign on the first day of the league, against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai.
Why is the wait time so long?
“You are waiting because either the website you want to access is not yet open for visitors, or the website is receiving a large amount of visitors at the same time and wants to grant access in a fair, first-come-first-served order,” according to RCB’s website.
